Chapter 2 Anderson (Facebook)
Chapter two in Anderson's book begins with a chapter about online background checks on employees. Today emploers are checking facebook and googling names before giving someone a job. Even colleges are using Facebook to check up on their students because many people will post pictures of a night where they went drinking. Today kids and anyone who is looking for a job have to be extremely careful when putting pictures on facebook. Posting pictures of a night where you were drunk could result in you getting suspended from college or even not geting a job in the future. What this section is sating to employers and employees is to be careful what you put on facebook and check facebook to see get a background check on the kind of person they are. "It's unfortunate that they might unknowingly damage their chance for a job or internship offer."

Dear Jake,
ReplyDeleteThis passage was full of helpful information. I can take in conceteration what you just wrote. Simply because I am now a college student and like all college students we like to party and document stuff we do. Can't believe that colleges and job oppurtunities can look into my facebook, and if they don't like what they see i can get introuble or denied! This is truly mind blowing! I am going to double check my Facebook and see if anything on there can harm in in the future!
Thank You,
Dan
Jake, I like how you stay close to the source's topic, but I would like to see you represent its argument more clearly than you do. What, then, is this source saying about employers' practice of using FB to do identity checks? Also, you need to quote from your source.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing: You also need to catch up on these.
